 Local
Archguitarist, Peter Blanchette,
Plays on Thursday Evenings
Chances are, you’ve already heard the
music of Peter Blanchette.
Blanchette is the inventor of the archguitar, an
eleven-stringed instrument with a greatly expanded musical
range. He has performed live on the NPR programs: A
Prairie Home Companion, All Things Considered,
WNYC’s New Sounds, Soundboard, and Performance
Today. His recordings are often heard on radio programs
such as Sunday Baroque, The Thistle and Shamrock
and locally on WFCR. His many CDs of solo and ensemble music
on Dorian Recordings and AGM have sold hundreds of thousands
of copies.
As a composer, Peter has contributed to
the acclaimed television programs HBO's Sex and the City, and
PBS' Inside the Tuscan Hills. In addition, he is a
Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Grant Recipient for his
orchestral works and recordings of crossover classical-Jazz
compositions. Many of his recordings feature his Virtual
Consort ensemble--an “imaginary orchestra” consisting of
Blanchette playing multiple overdubs of various plucked
instruments, along with his archguitar, often adding a
featured vocal or instrumental soloist.
We are delighted to present Peter
Blanchette, live with his archguitar, Thursday nights from
6-9:30 at Carmelina’s.

Emery Plays His
Last Weekend at Carmelina's
During the last weekend of June, we bid
Emery a farewell with a special weekend of celebration.
Friends stopped by to play music with him, we had a
beautiful cake to share with everyone on Sunday evening, and
we created a special poster for everyone to sign and add a
special note for Emery. After 25 years of playing every
Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, it's hard to imagine the
main dining room without our friend Emery playing at the
baby grand. He promised to come back periodically for
special occasions!
Stay tuned for new musical talent to
begin in the coming weekends! |
